This race offers a single ultra distance of 100 Miles (~162 km) with over 7,000 m of elevation gain, running through the spectacular, rugged terrain of the Lofoten archipelago. It begins with a short boat ride to the starting point at Kirkefjord, then winds across mountain ridges, white beaches, cliffs, green hills, and coastal paths, often with the ocean in view. The trail is technical in many sections, demanding good fitness, navigation skills, and preparedness for variable weather. Cut-off times are enforced at several aid stations along the way. The race is limited to 150 solo participants, making it a premium, boutique ultra-trail event.
